Asahina Ryoji has thirteen siblings, thanks to his wealthy, beautiful mother, who has had plenty of romantic experience.
He can lie flat and live like a lazy fish if he wants. His family can afford to support him, after all. So naturally, he became a shut-in and a gaming geek.
In real life, he lies around like a lazy fish, occasionally rolling over. In games, he works diligently like a hardcore grinder.
On the recommendation of his friend Nozaki Umetaro, he picked up Touken ■ Ranbu -ONLINE-, a game known as the "Legendary Survivor" that had somehow lasted all the way to its full-dive version.
After downloading various mods and choosing his identity, Ryoji followed a guide from the forums and settled into his daily routine of snatching eggs and claiming subsidies.
[Daily Mission 1: Livestream Honmaru life for 2 hours]
Reward: 1,000 koban.
[Daily Mission 2: Sortie! Sweep through a thousand troops]
Reward: 2,000 of each basic resource, 300 koban.
[Side Mission 1: Purge! Slay demons and exorcise monsters]
Reward: 300 Koshu gold pieces, 3 speed-up charms, 3x expedition EXP.
Just thinking about missing out on his subsidies if he didn't finish all his missions made Ryoji feel like ants were crawling all over him.
Touken Ranbu players want money.
He has tons and tons of stamina to spare, and he can earn tons and tons of money!
One day, the livestream of a seemingly ordinary sword warrior set the forums ablaze.
Saniwa and sword tsukumogami: so@%rjw&xy!!
Weren't corrupted tsukumogami supposed to be an urban legend? Damn the government, how did my kid end up like this?! (on a ventilator.jpg)
The game and a parallel world became subtly linked.
They had no idea that all these skins had been painstakingly acquired by Asahina Ryoji through grinding and spending money.
[Collected Skins]
1. Yagen, corrupted after merging with a monster's bloodline, with bloodthirsty slit pupils
2. Chogi, with congenital insensitivity to pain and a fragile body, showing latent self-destructive tendencies
3. Hizamaru, with his knees severed and replaced by a snake tail, having lost his memory
Asahina Ryoji would never have guessed that the disgraced saniwa and dark honmaru he purged actually existed.
* A short story, a well-worn livestream-and-misunderstanding trope
* Includes one saniwa and one honmaru, individual differences among sword boys (such as subspecies and personality variations), a government that stays silent while constantly getting cursed out, chat comments, forum posts, and a mountain of personal worldbuilding. Apologies in advance for any out-of-character moments.
* No need to tell me if you're dropping the story. No trolling, unsolicited writing advice, plagiarism accusations, and so on.
● Let's work together to keep the comments friendly. Incendiary comments will be deleted. ^^
